Package: tpm2-tools
Version: 4.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed the command line parameters for several tools changed significantly
when updating from 3.x to 4.x. Usually users are notified of such changes
when updating by apt-listchanges displaying the changes as described in the
NEWS.Debian file. However it seems tpm2-tools does not have such a file.

This could potentially cause breaking changes, e.g. when users are using
tpm2-tools to store the LUKS secret in the TPM and retrieving it during boot.

Please consider adding a NEWS.Debian for Debian version 4.0.1-1 and include
a warning about changed command line parameters.

A full list of changes is included in the upstream CHANGELOG located at:

https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/blob/master/doc/CHANGELOG.md

Sincerely,

Laurens
